α7R

Reality realised

Meet the Full Frame, palm-sized α7R. Packing a 36.4 MP 35mm full-frame sensor into a body half the weight of leading DSLRs, this is the new standard for photographers seeking the ultimate creative tool.

α7R new software is now available.

The new standard

Meet the world's smallest and lightest 35 mm full-frame interchangeable-lens camera. With 36.4 megapixels, the α7R is not just a landmark for compact cameras—it is a landmark for all cameras. And with Sony's latest BIONZ X processor and no optical low-pass filter, the α7R offers unmatched lifelike detail. Get ready to capture reality as never before.

36.4 MP Full Frame sensor

This remarkable new sensor has all the elements for world-class images: high-resolution, top sensitivity, extreme dynamic range, unsurpassed detail and low noise.

Natural results in any light

Beautiful form. Robust function.

Expert engineering from every angle

In designing the α7R, Sony strove to balance the precise control working photographers need, with the ergonomics they want. The result is carefully crafted knobs and dials, robust functions, extensive customisation potential and recording and connectivity options, all in a durable, lightweight body 25% smaller than leading DSLRs.

Connectivity and Recording

Full frame, compact form

At just 465 g with a battery, the α7R is about half the weight of leading DSLRs. And being less bulky as well, there's no more giving up quality for portability.

Built light; built to last

Crafting the α7R from magnesium, the world's lightest structural metal, means that the camera you carry with you today will also be with you tomorrow.

Where speed meets precision

Innovative Fast Intelligent Autofocus

The faster BIONZ X processor plus new spatial object detection algorithm work together to optimise control of the lens drive. Enhancements include more accurate eye detection and lock-on autofocus.

Eye Autofocus

For perfect portraiture, this function creates sharp focus on faces even when partially turned away from the camera with a shallow depth of field, thanks to enhanced eye detection that can prioritise a single pupil.

Lock-on Autofocus

Easily keep moving subjects in focus with this updated technology, which adjusts target frame size based on subject characteristics and makes use of a wide AF area to ensure usage of the optimal focus point.

Autofocus setting options

With the Flexible Spot AF area setting, you can select different-size autofocus area to match your subject, and help ensure the camera focuses on the intended area. Wide and Zone focus area settings are also available.

Clear subjects, compelling stories

The advantage of accurate bokeh display

Unlike a traditional optical viewfinder (OVF), which distorts bokeh through the focusing screen, Sony’s electronic viewfinder (EVF) presents the image directly from the sensor, so you see exactly what the finished image will be. Change your f-stop? You’ll see the depth of field shift in the viewfinder.

Zoom in on what’s important

Go from evaluating after, to perfecting before

Leading DSLRs allow you to zoom in on the LCD screen to check your images after the shot, but with the Tru-Finder™, you can make these adjustments before and during the process. So instead of wondering what you got, you can capture what you want.

Fine-tune your focus

Peaking function for precise details

Need instant confirmation of the most sharply-focused areas of your image? Activate the built-in peaking function, which can be adjusted in sensitivity and highlight colour to best suit individual preferences.

Composition without guesswork

See exposure adjustments before you shoot

Cameras with traditional viewfinders have forced photographers to glance down at their LCD screen after each shot, or shooting in bunches to bracket a correct exposure. But no more: with the Tru-Finder™, see exposure adjustments before you shoot—and never take your eye off the subject.

FULL-FRAME FILM-MAKING

Set your vision in motion

The α7R's combination of 35 mm full-frame sensor, range of lenses, headphone jack and XLR audio adaptor set a new lightweight filmmaking benchmark. And with the BIONZ X processor applying new area-specific noise reduction to video, even low-light documentary footage can look detailed and crisp.

Professional soundtracks

NEW LENSES, NEW POSSIBILITIES

Glass worthy of a 1st-class camera

To enable photographers to explore the limits of the α7R's unrivalled potential, Sony designed a new set of E-mount lenses precisely for the internal geometries of the new full-frame range. In addition, previous-generation α owners can use the full range of E-mount lenses or A-mounts with an adaptor for a professional range of 50+ lenses.

Professional enhancements

ONE TOUCH NFC & WI-FI CONNECTIVITY

Share something great

The α7R has two forms of wireless sharing capability built in; NFC One-touch allows image transfer with a single tap to any NFC-compatible smartphone, tablet or laptop. Wi-Fi® allows quick uploading from many locations.
